the little audio company

The Little Audio Company is aiming to bring back a genuinely independent audio retailer experience to the Birmingham hi-fi retail scene, one which has been somewhat empty since the sad passing of Bob Griffin back in 2004.

We are a 15 minute walk from Birmingham New Street Station, or just hop on the Metro for 5 mins which brings you right to the Jewellery Quarter. There's a multi-storey car park just round the corner, as well as street parking outside.

The Little Audio Company is situated inside The Big Peg (the big white office building in the Jewellery Quarter's Golden Square), and operate an appointment only approach, mainly to ensure the best service for its visiting customers. Please feel free to call 0121 638 0721 or email david@thelittleaudio.company to arrange an audition or even just a visit and a chat. The kettle is always warm, there's also water in the fridge, and if it's a particularly deep conversation, there's a pub right outside!

We aim to bring you some alternative brands that are not represented elsewhere in Birmingham (nor in the West Midlands in some cases), and avoid being piled high with product you're able to see by walking into virtually any hi-fi shop around the country. We particularly specialise in providing solutions for those with smaller rooms or tight spaces, and those who really don't want bulky boxes on huge oil rig platform hi-fi racks. We won't try and sell you the biggest we can, we offer you real world options to suit your space.

Feel free to call 0121 638 0721 between 10:30 and 5:00 Mon-Fri or email david@thelittleaudio.company where I'll be able to answer 24/7. Audition days and times are flexible and not restricted to stated opening times.

As the images don't seem to want to show at the moment, there's plenty of pics up on our Facebook page and Pinterest.

I will be lending a helping hand to Auden Distribution this weekend at Cranage Hall, so if you visit the show, pop your head in and say hi!

The main system will consist of a Merging Nadac "network attached digital to analogue convertor", CASS Audio amplification including the Elysian 100 monoblocks, and the mighty Amphion Krypton 3 loudspeakers. Other brands will include Audiomica and MusicWorks.

the little audio company has teamed up with Convert Technologies to bring you Plato - a British designed and built all-in-one compact audio system with digital storage on board, able to rip your vinyl as well as you CDs, and with full metadata too! Internet radio, streaming capabilities, analogue and digital inputs, as well as a switchable MM/MC phono stage. All controlled by the supplied Kindle Fire (IOS app also available), and a choice of Class B or Class A amplification, as well as a pre-amplifier version.

the little audio company will, for a short time next, have in its possession the new and upcoming Audio Technica ATH-ADX5000 headphones, which we will do our best to review while we have them. These will be available around late November.

The Heco Direkt loudspeaker range comes to Birmingham. First to arrive is the newly released Direkt Einklang - a slightly smaller, full range, single driver version of the existing two way Direkt model. Although a little less efficient than the Direkt, the Direkt Einklangs are still a high 94dB sensitivity, making them ideal for lower powered amplifiers, particularly valve amplifiers.

Electrocompaniet's EC Living multi-room and wireless streaming range, consisting of single and stereo wireless loudspeakers, as well as media streaming boxes and amplifiers will shortly be coming to the little audio company in Birmingham.Untitled by David, on Flickr​

Larsen are the ideal loudspeakers for those looking to regain their floor space, designed to work up against room boundaries rather than having to steer well clear of them. Call 0121 638 0721 to arrange an audition at the little audio company in Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter.
